“Data for this entry were determined on some or all of the following
shots: 7C-3, 8A-373, and BA-374; each was fired using several plate
thicknesses.
“Mean and standard deviation of five determinations on last four
entries, three on the first six and the eighth, and two on the
seventh.
Linear least squares fitting gives Urs = 2.107 km/s - 0.00830 t (mm). At t = 0,
plate U, = 5.173 km/s and P, = 45.36 GPa. Acoustic approximation with D = 8.002
km/s, pox = 1.714 g/cm3, and porn = 8.395 g/cm3 gives corresponding explosive
parameters of P, = 28.54 GPa, U,, = 2.081 km/s, and y = 2.845.
